I checked logs on 2 servers and didnt saw anything..

Sorry guys, I dont use discord.. I prefer IRC as this is true open communication
platform.

Re-reading the message from my MTA, it looks like it could've been a problem on my end,

More importantly, the actual message was

Hi,

thanks for letting me now.

Could you please share your findings in a patch form? Also, as far as I recall,
mingw builds did work without custom makefiles/.h files, via the autoconf/automake
build process, did that went wrong?

The monster recall bug is probably platform-independant and affects all the versions

As far as IRC goes, we used to hang out there, and although all the developers shared your attitude to it, it was nigh impossible to get any actual players to join... But I'll be happy to hang out on some IRC channel, perhaps our #mangband on freenode is still alive, but feel free to suggest anything.

The dev. process is certainly not dead, and we're certainly very interested in patches.

Oh, and yeah, the Angband array thing is a PITA to work with, but not rewriting that whole thing allowed us to port things form V with (relative) ease.

The problem of IRC that it shows anyone your IP, so it's not good in terms of privacy. Of course there is proxy, vps etc.. But it's not very conveniently.

There is a 'bridge' option - https://github.com/reactiflux/discord-irc

I've even tried it, it works But you need to start it at server. Maybe this could be an option? So discord and irc users could have the same chat.

I suppose it would be fun to use old mangband irc if it exist (if not, Flambard, please could you create new one?)

[Flambard]

I've just joined #mangband and #mangband-dev @ irc.freenode.net, there's even a ghost player hanging out (probably via a bouncer), which is cool

We also used to have a bouncer, but I don't think it's alive anymore, so I'll be there via my actual internet connection, meaning, there'll be some downtimes

Nevertheless, I'm there and am happy to talk

tanger: wow man, you are very paranoid... What is your concern about
IP thingie? It was a norm in 90's on IRC...
You can always use VPS or whatever
to shell/bounce your connection to IRC.

It's specific of my work as videoblogger I hate when people recognize me on the streets and it's sometimes happens. So for me it's better to stay in the shadow

Discord is very useful thing, much better then skype or any other messenger. You could use it via browser, just add bookmark to the page at open at with. I didn't use desktop version of discord ever, always in browser - lightweight, no ads, good quality voice chat
